Why Ukraine Matters
Ukraine sits at the epicenter of an increasingly contentious geopolitical situation with Russia. Vladimir Putin senses weakness in the west and is using Ukraine as a proxy to explore just how far Joe Biden’s historically unpopular administration can be pushed.
While the majority of Americans don’t want to send American soldiers to fight the Russians over Ukraine, we must understand that the Russians will not stop at Ukraine. Let me explain:
Is the Ukrainian about the Ukraine, or about America? Obviously Putin wants to project his authority, but why now? He is, if not conspiring with China, coordinating with them to engage in territorial take over. Likely with the bigger picture of both propagating totalitarianism and ecconomic dominance.
When does the pathetic western Europe come into play? Again.
This ends badly and our military, thanks to Obama, is not what is was.
If the US government and the governments of the West were just a tiny bit Christian, they would applaud Putin for bringing the worship of God back into the public life of Russia! They vilify Putin in the name of democracy, but the United States Constitution created a republic, not a pure democracy! In conflicts with the US government over Syria and Venezuela, God seems to have given the Russia leader a certain amount of wisdom.
